Cisco joins Schneider Electric partner program

Schneider Electric has teamed up with networking vendor Cisco to bring advanced networking and control system technologies to its customers.

The partnership will see Cisco added to Schneider Electric’s Collaborative Automation Partner Program (CAPP), and aims to bring the company’s industrial networking technology to Schneider Electric customers in more than 200 countries.

The agreement means Schneider Electric will be able to leverage Cisco’s technologies to help deliver its industrial automation solutions.

Schneider Electric says many of its customers already use Cisco technology.

“Some IT departments require the implementation of Cisco technology as a standard across the enterprise, including the industrial network,” it says in a statement.

“The program will enable us to help customers in a variety of industries minimise risk and reduce implementation time at operational sites, thereby improving business value,” he says.

Schneider Electric’s CAPP is a dedicated program to manage the company’s technology partners who contribute to Schneider Electric solutions for industry end users.

The program features more than 40 partner companies, with presence in 130 countries and more than 200 partner products that are accepted in the program and integrated with Schneider Electric’s automation solutions.
